Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

Hi,

Hopefully the subject line describes the problem. Additionally I found
that to get the feisty upgrade to get to beyond the "Modifying software
channels" stage the second time around I had to remove deb-src lines
from source.list to prevent

Failed to fetch
http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/source/Sources.gz
Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)

despite the url being valid and the net connection being up. That's
weird.

Back to the first run: my network connection is a mobile connection and
I'm on the edge of network availability so the connection cycles between
GPRS, EDGE and HSDPA. When it does this it often interrupts a download
and sometimes packets hit buffer limitations and are dropped.

The installer complained about not being able to find the apache2
package, which seems like fairly gross misreporting :)

Additionally, as mentioned, it put the system into a position where it
could not be upgraded. Why it should hit the deb-src problem on second
run, I'm not sure.
